About the program

Body Safety Australia supports organisations to understand and implement the Victorian Child Safe Standards in ways that are practical, meaningful and responsive to their community.

Our approach recognises that child safety is not one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively with organisations to explore their existing practices, identify strengths and areas for development, and build approaches that reflect the needs of children, young people, families and communities.

Training can support organisations to strengthen child-safe policies and practices, address barriers to inclusion, and create environments where children and young people are heard, respected and empowered.

A consultative approach can also involve seeking input from children, young people, families and communities to inform child-safe practice.
